Vegan Tropical Paradise Granola

This Vegan Tropical Paradise Granola recipe features shredded coconut, coconut oil, dried pineapple and dried mango. Cashew butter makes a creamy base that ties it all together. Savoring this vegan granola is kind of like going on vacation. Except without palm trees. And it's cheaper. And it tastes better.

1) Whisk together the flavor building ingredients

2) Stir in the oats and coconut

Stir in the rolled oats, followed by the shredded coconut.

3) Bake the vegan granola to perfection

Place the mixture on a baking tray and spread it out flat. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the granola starts to dry. If using two baking sheets, switch racks halfway in between baking time. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4) Break up the granola into small pieces

Break up the bunches of granola into smaller pieces, transfer to a large bowl and stir in the dried pineapple and mango. Transfer to a covered container.
This recipe makes about 8 cups of Vegan Tropical Paradise Granola.

Yum!!!

Another granola recipe that you posted that I love!! I mad a few changes due to what I had in the cupboards/ pantry. I didn't use dried mango since I didn't have any. I did however add some white chocolate chips. I'm pretty sure those aren't vegan (shame on me), but I added some anyway. I used to get a "premade, organic, store-bought" tropical granola that had white chocolate chips in it and it was delicious. Besides saving on the cost (which is great!), I can choose what goes into these recipes and who could pass up the fun of making your own!!
Thanks again!

Hi prettyleodia! When I was little I used to go to Maui and my parents would always serve me granola like this for breakfast. It wasn't until you mentioned white chocolate chips that it all came back. This granola is an expression of those times and I didn't even know it until now! Glad it worked out for you and thanks for sharing!

"These were perfect!
They are a little too spongy straight out of the oven, but after they cool down they are perfect!
I've been looking for a "go to" cupcake recipe for a while now and this is going to be it!
thanks!"

"Love this butter! Delicious taste, nicely buttery, easy to make and palm oil free (unlike most store bought stuff). I used only apple cider vinegar and didn't notice any 'vinegary' taste. So far I used it on bread, in mashed potatoes and baked vegan croissants - works great! I've tried it with different unsweetened soy milk and it worked best with alpro brand. Thank you for the recipe!"

""Vegetable" oils are yet another example of vegan health fraud that has caused massive death and disease in the human population. Which I'm sure vegans secretly delight in since they hate human beings more than they love animals. Anybody citing CSPI is a fraudster in my books."
